the users' dilemma: do you buy a mac today, or wait six month hoping they will fix X (for your particular X)? the sysadmins' dilemma: do you install today's critical update or wait a day until the next one is out before you reboot 50 servers?

Neither. You wait for the normal patch cycle because the other six barriers to exploiting the vulnerability will work just fine until then. The vulnerability that cuts through every layer of a well engineered defense is rare.

if this is an attempt to simply publicly mock someone on the nanog list i have a polite request: keep your snark to yourself. this kind of uncivil behavior is part of what keeps this community so homogenous as it appeals only to people willing to put up with this kind of public nastiness. as someone who i thought supporting increasing diversity in our community, i would expect a higher standard of professionalism and inclusion from you. this may also tend to keep you off of everyone else's increasingly long (but possibly less public) mail filters. apologies if i misunderstood your terse and otherwise apparently content-free missive. cheers, t

Apparently, they're bringing out an upgraded upgrade soon:

I'm going to wait for this one before buying. Looks like a much better option than what's on the table right now. Nick
